These people are not MS employees and their deep-seated need to market SQL Server, especially at the expense of VFP, is questionable at best!

That is your real beef - isn't it?????

If SQL Server is better - do the motives matter? Why are they questionable?

What is more offensive? The fact that I provide concrete examples to support my opinion - or you - calling my motives into question without a shred of technical justification on your part...

For the record, I am not marketing SQL Server. Rather, I am suggesting the right tool for the job. And - when people decide that they are going to spread blatent falsehoods about SQL Server as compared to .DBF - technically, I and others will take them out to the woodshed.

The bottom line, you are just ticked off that MS does not promote VFP.
